Available for move in as soon as Jan 15 – although if any other cleanup and repair is needed (not expected) it may take a couple more days to prep.
3 Room (1 bedroom) garden level apartment in the Historic Stockade District with separate entrance and mailing address. There is a Bedroom, Kitchen with a Kitchen nook, Living room (which has been used as a 2nd bedroom), entry foyer and recently renovated Bathroom with tiled floor, bathtub and shower (pictures to come). The whole space is about 750 square feet. Kitchen includes an electric stove, sink, and refrigerator. Ecobee thermostat system and dehumidifier (A/C not usually needed as a result) make it really comfortable, although some tenants have installed an AC in the bedroom.
I prefer a couple or single tenant – Children OK as well – although it is small for more than a toddler. NO SMOKERS. THERE IS NO SMOKING ALLOWED INSIDE.
Heat, Water, Sewer, Trash, Electric and High Speed Internet (Fiber – super fast) are all INCLUDED in the rent. That makes this place a great deal.
There is a backyard with a fire pit and a gas grill available for use (see picture). A tenant willing to do a little yard maintenance (weed-wacking and weed removal – maybe some new plants) is preferred . There are raised garden beds not currently being used (would love to have them used!). There is off-street parking for occasional use (esp if you are traveling or not needing your car for a while – or during snow emergencies), but the driveway is a single lane – so regular parking and regular coming and going is not possible. As a result, technically parking is on-street. There is plenty of on-street parking – I’ve never needed to go more than a block to find on-street parking when my driveway was full.
Walking distance from commercial Uptown Kingston – just a block from the Farmer’s Market and Old Dutch Church and a few blocks from all the Uptown restaurants and shops.
I am willing to accept work for up to $500 a month in rent (work only accepted when done in advance of rent being due). There is a lot of outdoor work (gardening, minor construction, maintenance), some indoor painting and minor repair work that could be done if tenant is interested. Preference given to tenants who want to garden and maintain (and use!) the backyard. Preference also given to people that are socially compatible
First month and Deposit required to move in. Tenants with poor credit and a lack of previous rental references may need a guarantor for the rent. References and credit record will be checked. I can help you get your own free credit record, or you can pay me to get it for you. Lease requires minimum of 6 months and then has a 45 notice requirement to get full deposit back. Longer leases can be arran.
I prefer no pets, but a small well trained pet is OK with extra rent and deposit (min $50 per pet)
If interested, please e-mail with a short description of all potential tenants and a phone number where I can reach you. Phone with text ability will make it easiest. I look forward to hearing from you.
